The Art of the Mini-Moon

Whether your wedding is glamorous or relaxed, you’ll want to follow up your nuptials with a honeymoon! However, many couples these days are delaying their big holiday to a later date, and choosing instead to follow up the wedding with a “mini-moon”.

Mini-moons are simply shorter honeymoons. For those with busy work and family lives, mini-moons are becoming more and more appealing. Mini-moons can be less expensive, easy to fit into tight schedules, and still allow the chance to de-stress after the big day! They can be taken near or far, and the variety of choices are endless.
